501c4 up, but i was wondering how risky it might be to have a city -- a sitting president working for or raising money for a 501c4. >> i have not attempted to separate my comments -- i do represent organizing for action, which is the name of the organization you are referring to. i would simply say as you know, i will not be involved in electoral activity at all. to bet sense, it's not confused with activity in an election cycle, the types of concerns the campaign finance sector we're talking about here today. as you know, it is devoted to federal and state public policy and issue development advocacy. it will be operating therefore as a social welfare organization. without going into tremendous amount of discussion about people's views of the feasibility of such an enterprise, i would say this -- the business of communicating on issues in this country and involving one's self in the day- to-day business of grass-roots requires resources. the largest issue we all face is in a country of this size and complexity and even with developments like internet communications which have reduced

the iranians did not have massive artilleries zeroed in on some nearby friendly city. we need to take that into account. on the other hand, i agree with you that iranians have a long tradition and a great interest and they want to be a power in the region, and one question we have to resolve, while we cannot dictate it, is what our role in the region will be in the future, what their role, what our arab friends' will be, and the best possibility is going hand-in-hand into the sunset and everything is splendid. you could think of an organization. that is far down the road. the second question is that while and be nice to say there is gone to be a line in our discussions with iran, if they ever get engaged, if we get into any kind of gear, between the regional to the elements and the iranian bilateral issue, number one, the clear, but perhaps others, it will be hard to do that if the iranians think there's traction to be gained in dealing with the process. one of our problems is not being able to expand the nuclear question. the other problem is if we expand it to where

you raised a healthier city is what the mayor wants. vincent gray has come up with an idea to extend the ban on smoking when it pertains to playgrounds and it could encompass parks throughout the city and we are talking about hundreds of blocks where smoking could conceivably be banned. >> well, i don't know what vincent orange is talking about and he comes up with the initiatives where people say, okay, that's vincent orange. they have a ban on smoking around playgrounds and they had a very good justification for it because secondhand smoke would affect children. how well is this going to work in the nation's capital with vince orange, i don't know. >> progressive cities seem to be at the forefront of movements like this, and i remember in the '80s, where everybody was smoking in the office and then all of a sudden everybody is standing outside smoking cigarettes in 30-degree weather. and d.c., i think joe mentioned earlier, montgomery has a similar ordinance in effect. i think we have bigger fish to fry. >> you can walk around the nbc
